Very active on the Sydney folk scene during the 1960s, he returned to England in the early 1970s.K L Apponoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-11299968295918445692015-05-26T00:59:26.212+10:002015-05-26T00:59:26.212+10:00Does any one happen to know who is the (uncredited...Does any one happen to know who is the (uncredited) English concertina player in the film version?

I'd reckon you could pick up one fairly readily at about the $35 marks but not likely to be in pristine condition.Paul the Stockmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17096130245670029700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-9927651729995776132012-01-04T10:28:44.255+11:002012-01-04T10:28:44.255+11:00Hi Paul

Unfortunately this was recently flood damaged and my insurance company has asked me to source the worth of this book. To me is it priceless however would you have any idea of its monetary value? <br /><br />Thank you<br />Regards<br />DebbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-59991433757285922972010-11-15T00:35:46.517+11:002010-11-15T00:35:46.517+11:00A copy of the broadcast film is available at:-

Haven't heard it for many years as our reel-to-reel player died many years ago and the tape would probably fall apart now even if there was a machine to play it. Still have the tape though in a cardboard box. Do the ABC still have the program in their archives I wonder?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-35750339223030682362009-09-23T16:00:46.720+10:002009-09-23T16:00:46.720+10:00re Peter O'Shaughnessy's 'Irish accent...re Peter O'Shaughnessy's 'Irish accent':<br /><br />In the 1966 ABC TV version of 'The Restless Years', Peter O'Shaughnessy played various characters from different regions (and classes) of Britain and Ireland. His spoken word items on this LP, and on the Old Botany Bay LP, are recreations of those TV roles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285972952988060123.post-20598839805396066682009-02-18T10:02:00.000+11:002009-02-18T10:02:00.000+11:00Hello Warren,If you are referring to "The Glorious...Hello Warren,<BR/>If you are referring to "The Glorious Years", yes I am still looking for a copy. It's obviously a lot less available than "The Restless Years". Mind you, that one was virtually mint but it had apparently suffered damage, amongst other things, though sharing a slip case with a massive book while protected only by a flimsy slip itself.
